Delete a specific string with tr
bash, command, tr, unix
Solution
In your example above the cut command would suffice.
Example: `echo '1.1231' | cut -d '.' -f 2` would return `1231`.
For more information on cut, just type `man cut`.
Problem
Is it possible to delete a specific string with `tr` command in a UNIX-Shell? For example: If I type: ``` tr -d "1." ``` and the input is `1.1231`, it would show `23` as an output, but I want it to show `1231` (notice only the first `1` has gone). How would I do that? If you know a solution or a better way, please explain the syntax since I don't want to just copy&paste but also to learn. I have huge problems with awk, so if you use this, please explain it even more.
